Glock, I'm gonna work hard, but I'm positioning my business to do more cash. I think everyone from doctors to zoo keepers will do the same. I'm gonna give gov't the least amount of money I can.
This is difficult for me. I've built and expanded my business thru this hell of an economy and I don't want to give it up.....But I'll be damned if I'm gonna give any more in taxes than I pay today, no matter where the tax rates rise.
I am of a like mind. I, too, built my business only to watch it wither and nearly die in the last four years. It has been on life support since 2009. I have been holding out for this election with the thought that I can rebuild once the SCOAMF is gone...once the threat of O'BongoCare is gone or at least severely lessened.
That dream is now over.
I don't think that I can hold out for another four years. And even if I did, the damage to the country and the economy is too great to recover in a reasonable amount of time. I have come to accept that it's over for me. I only have another fifteen or (if I stay healthy) twenty years and then I'm done. Not enough time to start over even if the country comes to its senses in four years which I honestly do not have any faith in.
We are now a nation of SCOAMFs. I feel as if I am living in the early days of "Idiocracy" with President Camacho at the levers of power, ruling over a country packed full of morons. Idiocracy was funny when it wasn't real. Not so funny now...more like a documentary...

Anyway...I'm thinking about moving to a mostly cash situation. Keep some of my business revenue legit so as not to arouse suspicion but divert most to cash. And barter...don't forget barter. That's also a powerful tool against the government. So basically I am now resigned to throwing sand in the gears and not getting caught. I'm not going to feed the machine any more than is absolutely necessary. Screw them.
Pretty horrible watching your country self destruct.

Trap, if I may be so bold as to make a suggestion......I don't know what business you are in, but whether the economy is good or bad, families find a way to spend money on their kids, so when investing, I do things which pulls on the heart string of the parent and catches the kids eye, we all want what's best for are kids and frankly, nothing sells to a liberal better than " it's for your children".
I've did it out of necessity over the past 4 years.I used to feel a little guilty, I'd be mindful not to take advantage of someone I knew didn't have the funds......but that is out the window, it is my families self preservation, not theirs. Ill keep my business just in the black, show just enough cash deposits not to draw attention.
Ironically, I guess to ease my guilt, figured after this election I wouldn't need to be so clandestine. Boy was I wrong. Your business may not be suited to go after the " kid vote", so to speak. Frankly, when I first opened, I had no idea I'd need to find avenues such as this....but it is the nation we live in today.
